Busy Queen B

The husband has been gone for almost 2 weeks now, and I have made like no progress on the grandiose plans I had established for everything to get done while he was gone.

• Get back on track with the "healthy lifestyle" - eat good, workout! nope... I have been exhausted and unmotivated and am now looking for him coming home to be the catalyst
• Organize/file all the paper that I've been stacking up for 1.5 years in the home office... have not touched anything in that room
• Clean out my closet: get rid of the 2 boxes that have been hanging out in there since we moved in 3 years ago! Also need to buy some form of chest to go at the foot of our bed to put all the extra pillows/shams in when they're not on the bed... have not touched anything in that room
• Put pictures in the picture frames that I bought 9 months ago; maybe even hang the frames on the walls :) have not even dug into the storage closet to get out the frames
• Cook myself dinner... I think this will be the first time ever that I attempt to cook any form of meat in a contraption other than the microwave. Wait... can you cook chicken in the microwave? Hmmmm... something to research!  well, I didn't cook chicken, but I threw together some ingredients
• Complete my Strategy and Stats exams; each worth over 75% of my total grade in the respective classes this semester! no comment

I will say that my exams are taking up a lot more time than I expected. Plus, I was entirely unproductive the weekend that I was dogsitting. Between the dogs and watching the hurricane coverage, I did nothing. And then I had my evacuee, which was a great distraction from doing anything. I would much rather hang out with her than clean any room ever! My class was cancelled for this weekend, but I am still leaving this afternoon to go to the A&M game tomorrow. I'm hoping to get some productivity in on Sunday...

The other hurdle is that I had actually decided not to go to the A&M game next weekend in order to accomplish some stuff, but now it looks like the class that got cancelled this weekend will be rescheduled to next Saturday. argh
